The Ātmabodha, with its Commentary, also the Tattwa-bodha: Being Two Treatises of Indian Pantheism by Adi Shankara, edited by Fitz-Edward Hall, presents two essential texts of Advaita Vedanta. Ātmabodha explores self-knowledge (Atman) and the realization of oneness with Brahman, emphasizing liberation through self-inquiry. Tattwa-bodha introduces core Vedantic principles, explaining Brahman, Atman, and Maya, and outlines the path to self-realization. Hall's commentary deepens the understanding of Shankara’s philosophy, making this work a valuable resource for those studying Advaita Vedanta, pantheism, and Indian metaphysics.
Adi Shankara (8th century CE) was a renowned Indian philosopher who founded Advaita Vedanta, emphasizing non-dualism—the oneness of Atman (self) and Brahman (supreme reality). His teachings profoundly shaped Hindu philosophy, Vedic interpretations, and spiritual practices, leaving a lasting impact on Indian thought and intellectual traditions.About The Editor: Fitzedward Hall (1825–1901) was an American Orientalist and philologist who contributed to the Oxford English Dictionary.
